Despite a rainy evening it seems there was no holding back the success of the Wyrallah Road Public School Art Show last week.
Celebrating art and their young artists the community, young and old, came and supported Wyrallah Road Public School (WRPS) at their fundraising art show and the streets were lined and the school hall buzzing.
‘Eight large collaborative class pieces were auctioned and sold, raffle tickets were flying out with a mountain of prizes from many of the small businesses that make Lismore vibrant and an art competition with prizes of first, second and third for each stage was judged by Mayor Krieg, former mayor Jenny Dowell, and art teacher Lisa Newman,’ said orgainser Vicky Fitzsimmons.
‘It was an astounding success.’
While the art was inside, outside there was music from the WRPS students, a live band The Rays from The Rivers Secondary College, catering vans providing coffee, pizzas, ice cream and an amazing tong master on the school barbeque.
‘All in all WRPS students, families and the wider Lismore community came and celebrated being bolder and brighter, together,’ said Vicky.
